What 642 owners told NHTSA about the 2012 Toyota Camry

NOT SURE IF THEY ARE TAKATA AIRBAGS. MY WIFE WAS REAR-ENDED (NOT HER FAULT) THAT CRUNCHED HER CAR BETWEEN 2 VEHICLES. THE INDIVIDUAL AT FAULT, ALTOGETHER, CREATED A 4 CAR ACCIDENT. THE ISSUE IS THAT NONE OF THE CAR'S AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. SEE PICTURES AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELVES. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY ON A CITY STREET. MY WIFE IS STILL SUFFERING WITH SHOULDER PAINS. OUR INSURANCE COMPANY TOTALED THE CAR.

TAKATA AIRBAGS: KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS. AFTER TURNING RIGHT ONTO A STREET & ACCELERATING TO ABOUT 20 MPH OVER ABOUT 150 YARDS, I HIT A CAR THAT WAS STOPPED IN THE STREET. I HAD MY SEATBELT ON. THE AIRBAG KNOCKED ME UNCONSCIOUS FOR AT LEAST 10 SECONDS. (I WEIGH 122 LBS & I'M 5 FT 3.5 IN.) I DIDN'T REALIZE I'D BEEN KNOCKED OUT: I LOOKED DOWN TO SEE A PARTIALLY INFLATED AIRBAG. I DIDN'T REALIZE I' BEEN UNCONSCIOUS OR THAT MY EYEGLASSES HAD BEEN KNOCKED OFF. BASED ON WHAT I SAW, I THOUGHT THE AIRBAG HADN'T FULLY INFLATED. BUT MY 13-YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, WHO WAS IN THE BACK SEAT, SAID SHE HAD THOUGHT I WAS DEAD BECAUSE SHE REPEATEDLY CALLED TO ME AFTER THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND I DIDN'T ANSWER. I NEVER HEARD HER OR EVEN KNEW MY CHEST/FACE WAS AGAINST THE AIRBAG. MY DAUGHTER SAID MY FACE AND CHEST WERE SLUMPED AGAINST THE AIRBAG. I WAS SHOCKED: ALL I KNEW WAS THAT I JUST SAW THE CAR I WAS GOING TO HIT, BRAKED, AND THEN SAW A PARTIALLY INFLATED AIRBAG. BUT MY CHEST HURT. THE NEXT DAY MY CHEST HURT SO MUCH I COULDN'T PRESS THE CAP ONTO A MAGIC MARKER. THE LEFT SIDE OF MY FACE FELT LIKE I HAD SOMETHING ON IT (LIKE A PIECE OF CLOTH), AND MY LEFT CHEEK AT THE CHEEKBONE WAS SWOLLEN AND BRUISED. THE VISION IN MY LEFT EYE WAS BLURRY, TOO. SO I WENT TO THE ER WHERE THEY DID CT SCANS OF MY CHEST AND BRAIN. THEY SAID I HAD A MILD CONCUSSION. I GOT A PARTIAL BLACK EYE ABOUT 4 DAYS LATER, AND I NOTICED A 4" BY 4" BRUISE ON THE OUTSIDE OF MY RIGHT CALF. EVEN TODAY--28 DAYS AFTER THE ACCIDENT--MY CHEST AND CALF STILL HURT. I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 20 MPH WHEN THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED. I WAS ONLY STARTING TO ACCELERATE ONTO A 40 MPH STREET AND PROBABLY ONLY GOT TO 18 OR 20 MPH WHEN I SAW THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, HIT THE BRAKES, AND THEN HIT THE CAR. MY CAR HAS BEEN DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS BECAUSE OF THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS. MY DAUGHTER, WHO HAD HER SEATBELT ON IN THE BACK SEAT, WAS UNHARMED.

DECEMBER 29TH AT 3:00 A.M MY WIFE AND I WAS GOING TO THE ATM IN GRANGER TX. AS I APPROACHED A SHARP CURVE I WENT TO APPLY THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN AND THE CAR SPEEDED UP HIT THE CULVERT AND WENT AIRBORNE. WE CAME DOWN ON A BOULDER AND SOMEHOW WE MANAGED TO DRIVE BACK TO MY BROTHER IN LAWS. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT GO OFF. I HAVE SEVERE WHIPLASH, I CRACKED MY L1 AND INJURED MY SIDE AND BACK. MY WIFE'S HEAD HIT THE SIDE WINDOW SO HARD SHE HAD A CONCUSSION KNOTS AND BRUISES ON HER HEAD. SHE HAS BRUISES ON HER RIGHT SHOULDER, HIT HER KNEE AND LEG. IF WE HAD NOT BEEN WEARING SEAT BELTS WE WOULD HAVE DIED. IF OUR AIRBAGS HAD WORKED WE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN HURT AS BAD AS WE ARE. MY WIFE'S GLASSES ARE BENT AND MY WATCH IS BROKE. I AM SENDING PICTURES TO PROVE THE AIRBAGS DID NOT WORK. NOT SUR WHAT THE ODOMETER READING IS BECAUSE I AM AFRAID TO TURN THE CAR ON SINCE THERE IS NO LONGER NO OIL OR ANTIFREEZE.

TAKATA RECALL: MY TOYOTA CAMRY IS NOT FORMALLY PART OF THE RECALL BUT THE AIRBAG EXPLODED DURING AN ACCIDENT CAUSING SHARP PIECES TO HIT MY FACE, ARM, CHEST, AND I HAD A MOUTH FULL OF GLASS CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY TEETH.

I WAS IN MY GYM'S PARKING LOT AND HAD JUST TURNED LEFT INTO A PARKING SPACE. I PLACED MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW THE CAR TO A STOP AS IT MOVED FORWARD INTO THE PARKING SPACE. HOWEVER, THE BRAKE PEDAL DID NOT RESPOND. INSTEAD, THE CAR CONTINUED DRIVING FORWARD ON ITS OWN, AND THEN I HEARD A SOUND OF ACCELERATION, AS IF THE CAR WAS REVVING ITSELF UP TO A HIGHER SPEED. THINKING THAT THE BRAKE HAD NOT ENGAGED, I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE PEDAL AND PLACED IT BACK ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, STEPPING HARDER, BUT THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. AT THIS POINT, WITH MY FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE CAR JUMPED UP ONTO THE CURB WHILE STILL ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN, RAN OVER THE SIDEWALK. ROLLED UP AND OVER A TWO-FOOT HEDGE THAT RAN PARALLEL TO THE SIDEWALK, THEN CRASHED INTO THE BRICK ENFORCED CONCRETE COLUMN AT THE CORNER OF THE GYM BUILDING. THE BRICK COLUMN STOPPED THE FORWARD MOMENTUM OF THE CAR, BUT LEFT A LARGE DENT IN THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR'S BUMPER THAT WAS EMBEDDED WITH CHUNKS OF CONCRETE. IT ALSO DENTED THE HOOD OF THE CAR, PUSHING IT OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THE AIRBAGS IN THE CAR DID NOT DEPLOY. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND HAVE REPORTED MY ACCIDENT TO TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS. I AUTHORIZED THEIR REVIEW OF MY CAR'S EVENT DATA RECORDER AND AM AWAITING THEIR INVESTIGATION REPORT. THIS FRIGHTENING ACCIDENT LEFT ME VERY SHAKEN. IT FELT AS IF I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR AT ALL. IT SEEMED AS IF SOMETHING HAD TAKEN CONTROL OF THE ACCELERATION OF THE CAR AND MY ATTEMPTS TO STOP THE CAR'S FORWARD MOMENTUM BY STEPPING ON THE BRAKE HAD ZERO IMPACT. THANK GOD NO ONE WAS ON THE SIDEWALK OR I WOULD HAVE KILLED THEM. THESE CARS NEED TO BE RECALLED TO FIND OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THIS POTENTIALLY DEADLY MALFUNCTION. THEY ARE LETHAL WEAPONS ON OUR CITY STREETS!

I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION OF MY CAMRY AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE CAR ON THE THIRD LEVEL OF A PARKING GARAGE. THE CAR HAD BEEN OPERATING NORMALLY UNTIL I RELEASED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO PULL INTO THE PARKING SPACE. SUDDENLY THE CAMRY STARTED ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN. I APPLIED THE BRAKES, BUT THE CAR DID NOT SLOW DOWN OR STOP. SINCE I DID NOT WANT TO CRASH INTO ONGOING CARS OR GO OVER THE EDGE UNTO THE STREET BELOW, I CHOSE TO CRASH INTO THE PARKING SPACE. THE CAR WENT OVER THE ABUTMENT INTO THE CINDERBLOCK WALL. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A GENTLEMAN TRIED TO REMOVE THE CAR FROM THE ABUTMENT BUT SAID THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING NOR COULD HE GET THE CAR TO MOVE. HE WAS ABLE TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE. TWO HOURS LATER THE TOW TRUCK OPERATOR COULD REMOVE THE CAR FROM ITS SPOT WITH THE BRAKES WORKING. THE BODY SHOP CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES OR ACCELERATOR PEDAL. CORPORATE TOYOTA HAD AN EDR RUN. THE MANUFACTURER CONCLUDED: "AFTER ROAD TESTING YOUR VEHICLE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, CONDUCTING ACCELERATION AND BRAKING TESTS, WE FOUND NO ISSUES." TOYOTA DID NOT ADDRESS THE FACT THAT THE PROBLEM COULD HAVE BEEN IN THE SOFTWARE PROGRAM THAT MALFUNCTIONS INTERMITTENTLY. I FEEL THAT THE CAR IS DANGEROUS SINCE IT GIVES NO WARNING OF AN ACCELERATION PROBLEM; THEREFORE, I DONATED THE CAR TO AN INSTITUTION WITH THE STIPULATION THAT IT COULD NOT BE DRIVEN ON PUBLIC ROADS. THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. AND WHEN I BOUGHT MY CAR, I ALSO HAD PURCHASED THE PLATINUM VEHICLE SERVICE AGREEMENT THAT HAD A 0 DEDUCTIBLE AND AN EXPIRATION OF 75,000 MILES. I THOUGHT WE HAD LEMON LAWS IN PLACE FOR THESE TYPES OF PROBLEMS. ULTIMATELY I HAVE HAD TO ASSUME THE FINANCIAL BURDEN CAUSED BY WHAT IS REALLY A TOYOTA PROBLEM.
